Random Peptide Libraries Workshop

CAROLINA WORKSHOP ON RANDOM PEPTIDE LIBRARIES
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
May 14 - 26, 1995
This hands-on Workshop will feature the use of both biologically generated
and synthetic random peptide libraries for identifying peptide ligands to
target molecules. Participants will learn how to construct and screen M13
bacteriophage-displayed random peptide libraries as well as methods for
characterizing binding phage and peptides. Participants will also learn
how to generate and screen synthetic 96 pin-format peptide libraries. The
various libraries will be screened with antibodies and cellular proteins.
Additionally, participants are encouraged to bring their own targets for
screening. The course will provide detailed protocols for all relevant
techniques and will be accompanied by lectures from invited speakers.
Tuition is $ 2,150.00
Deadline -April 20, 1995
Instructors: Brian K. Kay, Department of Biology, University of North
Carolina, N. Joe Maeji, & Jeanick Pascal, Chiron Mimotopes Peptide Systems,
Melbourne, Australia & San Diego, California
